Re: suggestions for pruning B. rupestris

Nan, if you are sure that it is B. rupestris (rupestre?) that is a "bottle
tree". Why would you want to prune it? No doubt the lower branches will come
off of their own accord - they are certainly not pruned off in the wild!

I wonder how tall it is; these are supposed to be slow growing, unlike B.
populneum which grows like a weed and is one in these parts.

Thanks for your thoughts Beverly. I too was wondering whether those lower branches would come off on their own. My tree is only about 7 feet tall so I guess I'll wait to see what happens!
